The Wreath Truck will be arriving Tuesday! (probably)

Breaking news!

I just learned that the Wreaths Across America truck — carrying Webster’s 1,360 wreaths for Wreath Day on Saturday — should be arriving in Webster this coming Tuesday morning, Dec. 9. (At least that’s the tentative schedule we have right now.).

The truck’s first stop will be at the Roseland Fire Station (corner of Salt and Plank), where it will be met there by a police escort, and then head to Webster Union Cemetery to drop off the wreaths for that cemetery and Union Hill. After leaving the fire station, the truck will travel north down Rt. 250 through the village’s four corners. It would be great to have as many people out there on sidewalks cheering the truck and its special cargo.

The truck is part of the Wreaths Across America “Honor Fleet,” made up of hundreds of trucking companies who volunteer their drivers, equipment and time to deliver more than three million wreaths every year to every corner of the country.

Even if you can’t be there to cheer on the truck, plan to attend this the Wreaths Across America wreath-laying ceremony at Webster Union Cemetery. On Saturday Dec. 13, community members will gather to lay 2,100 wreaths on veterans’ graves at Webster Union, Union Hill, Webster Rural and Holy Trinity cemeteries. It’s a solemn ceremony designed to remember these servicemen and women and to thank them for their sacrifices.

I’ll post updates on my Webster on the Web Facebook page about when exactly the truck is expected to arrive as the details are finalized. So keep an eye out for more information!
